Abstract
A request is received to perform a point in time copy operation from a source volume to a space efficient target volume. A controller copies data stored in a group of data storage units, from the source volume to a non-volatile storage, to preserve the point in time copy operation. A background process asynchronously copies the data from the non-volatile storage to the space efficient target volume to commit a physical point in time copy of the data from the source volume to the target volume.
